When dealers discuss Lada cars, they often skip over a lot of features that are available. In domestic models, unlike many imports, the control for several options isn’t always shown on a dedicated button panel, which can leave buyers unaware of what they can actually adjust while driving.
For example, the windscreen heating on a Vesta can be turned on without much fanfare, yet it is a useful feature that many buyers overlook until they try it themselves.
This material was prepared by a writer who is designated as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation. The information presented here aims to explain how some systems operate and how to access certain comfort features safely.
When the Defrost max function is activated on a Vesta, the windscreen heating comes on and clears the glass more quickly. At the same time, the interior climate control fan runs at its highest speed, which can be quite loud. Reducing the fan speed will stop the heated windscreen.
There is a practical workaround available: first enable the Defrost max function by pressing the second button shown in the accompanying photo. Then, while keeping that setting, press both the first and second buttons together as demonstrated. The glass heater remains on while the fan stays quiet.
Other hidden car features are worth knowing about.
